Match Preview :

Monday Night Football comes from the Stadium of Light as welcome Stoke City to Wearside hoping to bounce back after the 6-1 thrashing they received at the hands of Aston Villa in their last clash.

After back to back wins, Paolo Di Canio honeymoon period came crashing down with the heavy defeat to Villa. And while both sides have taken seven points from the last 18, but it is Stoke who head to the Stadium of Light in better form.

Tony Pulis's men have won their last two matches and are now moving away from the relegation zone, while Sunderland come into the match on the back of Monday's heady defeat at the hands of Aston Villa.
The last time these two sides met was in October when they played out to a goalless draw at the Britannia Stadium.

Form:

Sunderland - L W W L L D
Aston Villa - W W L L L D
